A bit late to the dance. We swim in a sea of mould….it is everywhere in the air. Mold requires moisture and a food source and while cement does not provide the food source the cement can be a collection point for airborne things that mold can use as food. All then that is required is water or moisture and voila you have mold accumulating on a cement surface.I suspect not much can live off anything covered with concrete dust and residue. You're probably safe from mold. If it does show up, I've had good luck rubbing down molding leather with a vinegar dampened cloth.

That heel separation seems to be common for Red Wing boots, at least when they’re used for work. I had two different pairs of Red Wing loggers in my younger days, and both pair separated like that before the original soles were worn slick. Red Wing wasn’t interested in helping me out, so no more Red Wings for me!
Drywall screws run down through the insole and into the heel held the boots together until I wore the soles out, at least.
The boot groups I mention above have some cool people who own shops on there. Two that stand out to me to maybe look up that are capable of doing some things you may want are Sole Man in Buffalo NY. It appears he does more dress shoe repair though. And Northern Republic who it appears specialize in boot repair out of Minnesota. If shipping isn’t an arm and a leg I would Facebook and google them and see if it’s worth it. I’ve been checking their stuff out and it all looks great! But again depending on costs maybe not worth it, but can’t hurt to look into it.I might give that a try. It seems like something that could be repaired, but Red Wing nor any of the shoe repair shops I've found here locally are up to the task. It seems a shame to just pitch them in the trash.
